   Psalms 127   
   [1] Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except   
   the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. [2] It is vain for   
   you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he   
   giveth his beloved sleep. [3] Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and   
   the fruit of the womb is his reward.   
   [4] As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.   
   [5] Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be   
   ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.   
      
   Psalms 128   
   [1] Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways. [2]   
   For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it   
   shall be well with thee.   
   [3] Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy   
   children like olive plants round about thy table. [4] Behold, that thus shall   
   the man be blessed that feareth the LORD. [5] The LORD shall bless thee out of   
   Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. [6]   
   Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.   
      
   Psalms 129   
   [1] Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say: [2]   
   Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed   
   against me.   
   [3] The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows. [4] The   
   LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked. [5] Let them   
   all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion. [6] Let them be as the grass   
   upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:   
   [7] Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his   
   bosom.   
   [8] Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we   
   bless you in the name of the LORD.
